“Brian Westbrook has been the best thing for LeSean McCoy.” – Andy Reid on the development on rookie RB LeSean McCoy

“Donovan’s leadership has never been greater than it is right now.” – Andy Reid on Eagles QB Donovan McNabb

“Sean is doing a fantastic job. I can’t think of a better way to handle a situation more gracefully and graciously than he has. He’s very respectful of Jim and all the things Jim taught him, but at the same time he’s put his name on the defensive scheme…it’s a great combination.” – Andy Reid on Eagles defensive coordinator Sean McDermott, who replaced the late Jim Johnson

“He’s one of the great players in the history of the National Football League. Sometimes crazy things happen in this business from a management standpoint and not everybody understands why things take place. But it’s great to see that both teams are having success and that Brett’s having success. (Steve), I don’t think you and I would be where we are without that guy and we owe a lot to him.” – Andy Reid on Vikings QB Brett Favre and Favre’s impact on his and Steve Mariucci’s coaching career

Steve Mariucci 1-on-1 with Bengals Head Coach Marvin Lewis:

“Everyday it’s something new…he’s playing his tail off and he’s back to the ‘85’ I knew when I first got to Cincinnati in 2003. I’m just loving everything he’s doing on the field right now.” – Marvin Lewis on his relationship with Bengals WR Chad Ochocinco and his productivity this season

Quick Quotes:

“It’s going to be one of the great memories Brett Favre has in Lambeau Field.” – Steve Mariucci on the Vikings’ 38-26 win at Green Bay
